Updating regularly. Stuff you should know.

I'm doing this introdutory chapter to explain better some things related to the novel. It is because I constructed a first person narrator, so there are things he already know and it would not make sense if he explained to itself. One thing is when you are reviewing some stuff you just recently learned. Another one is when you already know and do something for close to ten years. Besides, I want to give you some images close to what I have in my mind when I write this novel.

First, this is a Triquetra.

The one Neville has is inside a circle like this,

I'm imagining it more like the first inside a circle like the second, and it can spin inside the circle.

Second, THE SEVEN CHAKRA POINTS.

The human body has seven chakra points.

The first one is at the top of your head, like a crown, so it is called the CROWN CHAKRA POINT.

The second one is your "third eye". It is above your eyebrows, between your eyes. it is called FRONTAL CHAKRA POINT.

The third one is in your vocal chords. It is the LARYNGEAL CHAKRA POINT.

The fourth one is in your heart. It is the CARDIAC CHAKRA POINT.

The fifth one is in your belly button. It is the UMBILICAL CHAKRA POINT.

The sixth one is in your reproductive system. It is the SACRE CHAKRA POINT.

The seventh one is bellow your reproductive system. It is your ROOT CHAKRA POINT.

Third, This is the Diagon Alley map. I searched and most are 90% similar to this. I chose this one because it is very simple.

Well, let's talk about the Hogwarts schedule for first years students. I searched everywhere. There is no definitive class schedule. There are just some things that we know.

1)Breaks are used to get from one class to the other. They are at least ten minutes long.

2)Herbology was held three times a week. At least one Herbology class is held in the first morning period.

3)There is at least one Defence Against the Dark Arts class in the morning.

4)Potions is held only once a week,a double class on Friday morning, together with the Slytherins.

5)A Charms class was held on Hallowe'en morning. This class was held on the first morning period. In 1991, Hallowe'en was Thursday.

6)Flying lessons (joint class with Slytherin) take place on Thursdays at 3:30 pm.

From there, there is a huge problem to set a schedule with more classes, because it is said there is just 2 times of Potions on Friday. So for me, as Potions is a huge subject I can only give to each other 'big subject' 2 times too. To be more reasonable I considered each class time composed by two classes. So there had to be 4 classes of Herbology, Potions, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Transfiguration, Charms and Potions. The other classes Harry has is taken from the supply list of books he buys in Diagon Alley. So there is History of Magic, Theory of Magic, Astronomy and a flight class. I considered put a class of study of magical creatures, once there is the Newt Scamander book on the supply list, but in the third book it is an elective so it should be the first time they have any class about the subject.

I would not put Theory of Magic in the curriculum and I would consider it the same as the book of Newt, some kind of complementary book., but there would be 8 different types of classes. The students of each house have class with students of other houses. 8 is not a number I could divide for 3 properly, so I added this class to make each house have 3 class with each other House in Hogwarts.

I will make a drawing of the schedule someday. By now, you could read at the end of chapter 14. I will consider that classes start at 8 o'clock an goes until 10 o'clock. then they have 30 minutes to prepare for the next class that will start at 10:30 and goes until 12:30. The afternoon class will start at 15:30 and end at 17:30 to fit the time designated to the flight class.

I will update it regularly. I will warn you in the "AUTHOR'S THOUGHT" section at the end of each chapter if there is an update.
